AWHONN Obstetric Patient Safety

OB Emergencies Workshop (4th ed)

As part of its effort to reduce the rising trend of maternal mortality in the United States, AWHONN developed the Obstetric Patient Safety (OPS): OB Emergencies Workshop, now in its 4th Edition. The curriculum for this program is guided by the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality. The focus of the workshop is on various obstetric emergencies that may occur at any point during pregnancy or in the postpartum period.

This OPS workshop is designed to help clinicians work together as a team using effective communication to identify, assess, and manage the care for patients with an obstetric emergency through simulation and debriefing. Clinicians working in the following departments: perinatal, emergency, medical-surgical, ICU, and critical access will find this course essential to caring for patients experiencing an obstetric emergency.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Identify key factors that place the patient at higher risk for an obstetric emergency.

• Demonstrate effective management for pregnant or postpartum person during an obstetric emergency.

• Role-play with a multidisciplinary team using simulation-based cognitive, behavioral, and technical learning strategies to practice management of a patient experiencing an obstetric emergency
